Gettin a G8

Been wanting one since they came out in 08.  With the demise of pontiac and the fact that there is no '10 model, I had a hard time finding one that I liked.  I was pretty picky.  Had to be a GT of course, wanted the sport package, and had to be silver.  Found one I wanted 700 miles away in Detroit.  Distance, money, and time made it seem impossible.  Saw a black one at a local dealer and I guess they thought treating me like a pile of poop would get me to open my wallet.

suffices to say that I'm flying out to Detroit to pick it up saturday and driving it back.  Got a real cheap flight, they took another 500 off the price of the car that we already had agreed on to offset the flight/room, etc..  It's got 16K on it and because it's GM certified, I got 3.94 financing through GMAC, and another 12 months and 12K added to the balance of the bumper to bumper warranty. 

Sold my supercharged 99 Grand Prix and they buyer just left in it.  I am so fired up!  360hp, rear wheel drive, 4 doors for the family and in my opinion, really really great styling.  I'm calling it a 4 seater Corvette and of course my friends are calling me an asshole for saying that but it's all good.

I like it!  I would buy that over a 4 door charger anyday.

I sold one new just like that. Only 4 door car I would buy, and looks awesome. We blacked out the windows for my customer and it made it look sinister. Congrats!
Go Hogs!

Thanks Mike.  My brother in law got one in January.  I liked it...but then I drove it and I was hooked.

No offense but everything these days looks the same to me. At a glance I wouldn't know if it's a Honda, Toyota, Kia, etc.

That's a Holden Commodore! Aussie built for American market. Built just 10mins from my house. They are a nice car

I'd LOVE to have one of those. They look great in black and in red. There is one in each color by me.  :2thumbs:

 Seems like a good match up for a Neo-Charger RT... Just like the old days Charger Vs. GTO only it's too bad The Excitement Division is dead and the Pentastar group is owned by Italians...  :shruggy:  :hah:

It's got to be one of the cooler cars GM has built recently...just in time to fold up the tent on Pontiac.

Sideways with smoke billowing out of the wheel wells that are on the correct end of the car you will most certainly know this isn't a Kia.

Yep , very popular over here too and a good car. There is a whole lot of upgrades for the GenIII motor as well available, airbox, headers etc even superchagers , all bolt on stuff and availble in Aussie ex mail order. My bro in law had a GenIII powered comodore ute and had it doing 13.1 with not too much effort .Has got a 06 Senator now rated close to 400hp in stock form
3.94 finance is good value too . enjoy it, well done.

Right. In that case I'd guess BMW or WRX. ;) To be honest, I thought it was a Beemer at first because of the grille.

It isn't bad. All I'm saying is that it seems most cars look alike these days.
